if you cant find the switch, you could always make a script that you can run that `cd's to the games directory and then makes the `cedega Civilization3.exe' call
you can then create an icon to that script..

ofcourse the -workdir solution would be better since you dont have a dependency on the script file.. and you have one less file floating around
